    Movie Theater CNBC "Report" on the Rem 700

    Did anyone watch this whole thing? I only got a couple minutes in it before I changed the channel. Started to get pissed. They were trying to make the point that the 700 had a dangerous design flaw in the safety. Started out with a mom that accidentally shot her kid. Yeah, thats a bad...

    Rifle Scopes Question about NF 5.5-22x56

    Re: Question about NF 5.5-22x56 I have the same scope mounted on a Rem 5R in 308 with a 20moa base. I noticed that I had to raise the elevation more than I thought I would for a 100 yrd zero (not sure which ring off the top of my head). There has to be a thousand variables here, but I was...

    What do you do for a living?

    Re: What do you do for a living? Self employed video editor. Most of my work goes out to one client right now though. Good that its a steady pay, bad that all my eggs are in that basket. I was always told if you find a way to do what you love, you'll never work a day in your life. Its...

    Rifle Scopes Front scope lens cover for Nightforce 5.5-22x56?

    Re: Front scope lens cover for Nightforce 5.5-22x5 I put a set on my NF 5.5-22x56. The eyepiece cap snaps so tight you have to push the red button and pry with your fingers to open it, and the objective is so loose that it has trouble staying closed. I've tried fitting it in all different...

    Gunsmithing Duracoat application technique

    Re: Duracoat application technique Thanks for the input. I'm not sure what the tip size is on it, I'll have to take a look. I just textured the stock last night, so I'm looking forward to getting it coated. Devcon looks kind a funny on a green web 5R stock.

    Gunsmithing Duracoat application technique

    I've noticed that most people are applying duracoat with an airbrush. I've got a brand new compressed air siphon sprayer at the house. Would this work, or should I get an air brush? My biggest concern is that I would run into more wasted product if I used the siphon sprayer. Any other...

    nics background check. HELP

    Re: nics background check. HELP My brother in law just got denied for a couple gun buys. Seems something outstanding in FL caused the issue. He can fix it after paying a fine. The kicker is that if it wasn't for an IED, he'd still be on his tour. Its kind of a kick in the balls for a guy...

    honest dealer for Rem 700 SS 5R in 308 ?

    Re: honest dealer for Rem 700 SS 5R in 308 ? I picked one up from Gunbroker a couple months ago from an individual seller. Worked out good. Whittaker Guns in western KY tries to keep them in stock though. They do quite a bit of out of state sales. I think they were asking $975 before taxes.

    Rifle Scopes nightforce 5.5-22x56

    Re: nightforce 5.5-22x56 I just got a NF 56mm. I was hoping to get the 50mm for size purposes, but this was a pretty good deal, so I went with it. 5.5x22 56mm MRAD (no zero stop) $1475. It was new old stock from Euro Optic. It fits nice with TPS low rings on a EGW 20 moa base with a...

    Gunsmithing 2oz acraglass kit enough to texture a stock?

    Re: 2oz acraglass kit enough to texture a stock? I bought some cheap bed-liner stuff from Walmart to try. I sprayed a box with it to test it out...and I'm just going to use it to paint my grill. Its rough spray paint. The roll on stuff may be different, but I was pretty stupid to think the...

    bullet tipping die

    Re: bullet tipping die According to the guy that made the shot (he was on a History Channel special a couple weeks ago), it was standard US issue 50 BMG round. He had run out of his Canadian stuff, and one of our guys gave him some. He claimed that our stuff had more punch to it, so he had...

    Rifle Scopes Scope covers

    Re: Scope covers I thought about picking some up at swfa with some TPS rings. They're 7.95 there. Not sure what the shipping runs. I try and wait till I need a bunch of reloading stuff before I make a Midway order. Shipping hasn't been too bad that way compared to spreading it out.

    Rifle Scopes Scope covers

    Just wondering if there are any good alternatives to the Butler Creek Caps? I know Leupold makes some, and USO, but will they fit a NF 5.5-22x56? I've just heard some not so good reviews and wondering if there's a better route. thanks Aaron

    Rifle Scopes Burris Xtreme rings not centered on EGW rail

    Re: Burris Xtreme rings not centered on EGW rail I noticed this with a set I mounted the other day on the 700 with an EGW. I figured it was just an optical illusion though. Shortly after I moved the scope to a Savage, with an EGW, and I haven't noticed a problem. Just ordered a NF for the...
